Last fall Amsoil introduced two new Synthetic Polymeric Off-Road Greases aimed towards the Heavy Duty equipment market. These greases address the heavy load and shock conditions that the pins encounter in vehicles such as power shovels, drag lines, wheel and track loaders, excavators, bulldozers, skid steers, dump trucks and other heavy-duty equipment with heavily-loaded pivot pins, king pins, bucket pins and bushings. It is also the perfect grease for Caterpillar equipment requiring 5 percent moly for pin and bushing applications. This greases isn’t suitable for automotive use, rather it is manufactured for heavy-load-bearing applications found in agricultural, construction, landscaping, logging and mining environments.
There are two different greases you can look up and read the specific specs on to see which fits your needs; an NLGI #1 and NLGI #2.
Below is a video demonstrating the clinging ability of these new greases when compared to other well known brands such as Phillips Megaplex, Bobcat Supreme, Case Moly grease, Valvoline Palladium, and others. Note how the competition splatters off like water, while the Amsoil grease remains nearly unaffected:
